Solo - The Headline lyrics

[Intro] Y'know, it took me a while I guess I kinda had to get used to it and readjust But I think I'm starting to like it here [Verse 1] Rocking on blind faith with no MySpace Affirmation, I do it the opposite of the highway And I'll be happy just as long as I can say that Causing ripples in the river with the playback Like "Extra, extra, read all about it Village idiot takes over the whole township" sh**, I cut my own keys to the city Me and A-Diddy and whoever else wanna roll with me I write my home brand of battle rap magic If y'all can't dig 'em, then sh**, well that's tragic But don't think for a second I'd ever change the method To fit your idiot box idea of what's impressive We got you second-guessing, but the truth is Them new kids bringing the freshness to the set list I stay super fly with or without the suit and tie While these other mother-hustlers sit and scrutinise I'm doing fine, thanks for asking Move along now, best believe that it's on now See all I need is a mic and a CD-R I'mma remind these city folk what it's like to see the stars [Hook] There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay [Post-Hook] I said no longer will I hide My lows, I hold my head up high Cause I know now I'mma make it Take it one step at a time Said no longer will I hide My lows, I hold my head up high Cause I know now I'mma make it Take it one step at a time [Verse 2] Heart, mind and soul, the foundations of greatness Found inside every track of the playlist And I can see it in your faces To say we touch base when I'm on stage would be an understatement Hush baby, don't say sh** Let's make real music, throw it on, disconnect from the Matrix And you can say what you like, but calling me wack's One underestimation you do not want to make kid See I'm a firm believer in speak softly And carry a big heart and use it to believe in things So I stay on the grind, chasing the limelight Rocking prime time with my partners in crime Cause I got dreams to be that emcee who writes something To brighten someone's day, like so many have been to me So please believe that piece by piece We gonna put it all together till the people scream We getting off scot-free due to lack of evidence When we do a hit and run on your premises See, my crew move like a shooting star "And we put it in your ear no matter who you are" [Hook] There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay There's only so many hours in the day But each one's a chance for each of us to have a mate So you get yours and I'll mine The headline reads clear, now we here to stay [Collision] I said no longer will I hide My lows, I hold my head up high Cause I know now I'mma make it Take it one step at a time Said no longer will I hide My lows, I hold my head up high Cause I know now I'mma make it Take it one step at a time
